Match Summary - DSW going like an
Express Train in defeat of Railway |
DSW’s answer to Ronaldinho shone
through at a sweltering Broomfield Stadium on Tuesday
night. A Stuart Williams hat trick left Railway FC
stunned, especially the goalkeeper.
Silky one touch football between
most of the DSW team let Stuart in to open the scoring.
DSW dominated for the first 5 minutes of the game making
Paul in goal a mere spectator soaking up the last of the
sun’s rays. But as the sun began to sink beneath the
horizon, a case of the Djimi’s from Bob (sorry, I
couldn’t let that piece of defending go without a
mention!) allowed the Railway in on goal. One all,
totally against the run of play. It seemed Steveo –
making his debut – had soaked up too much of the sun and
forgot that only the keeper was allowed in the area –
PENALTY! Two – one Railway. Most teams would have
buckled under the immense pressure from the Railway, but
not the mighty DSW. Bob made up for his earlier mistake
with a rasping shot to make it two all at half time.
As the second half started, DSW
took control. Steveo had regained his sanity and silky
touch and started to distribute the ball as we all know
he can. Constant movement up front from Adam and Stuart
wreaked havoc in the Railway back line, striking the
woodwork on no fewer than three occasions. Assured
defending from Neil and David provided total domination
in the second half, allowing Stuart to complete his hat
trick. With his final goal Stuart destroyed any chance
of the Railway’s goalkeeper from sowing his seed that
night with a rasping close range volley that was well
saved only for the prolific striker to knock in the
rebound. Neil finished the scoring with a well-taken
goal after excellent ball movement turning defence into
attack. Final score 5 –2.
All in all a quality display from a
team missing key members who were allegedly on
‘international duty’. Competition for places should
keep things interesting in the DSW camp for the
foreseeable future.
